item 5 KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! 14SEP2005

The Politics & Justice Movement Presents KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! 

The "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" event aims to bring legal experts, community 
activists, students, and scholars together to share information and 
experiences around the complexities of policing and community relations 
locally, nationally and globally. Engaging with the long-standing 

struggles of African American and Latino struggles to make policing more 
accountable and responsive to community needs, this forum hopes to bring 
these issues into a post-9/11 context where under the guise of 
counter-terrorism civil liberties here in the US and human rights 

globally are being eroded at an every faster pace. Sponsored by the Politics 
and Justice Movement, a coalition of community-based groups and individuals, 
the event will bring together diverse constituents to focus our energies on 
how to know and best use the rights we still have.

Doors open 6:30pm

Wednesday 9/14 @ The Moon

1105 E. Lafayette St.
